Halloween Chronicles: Family is a hidden object puzzle adventure game. Do Games Limited made it. You play through a spooky story. It is not a mobile or PC game. It is only on the Nintendo Switch. I played it on the Switch. You can grab it from the Nintendo eShop. It is not free to download. I paid around ten dollars for it. There are no in app purchases. There are no ads at all. That is a big plus for a console game. You just buy it and play.

The game plays like a point and click adventure. You move a character around scenes. You search for hidden objects in cluttered pictures. You solve puzzles to open new areas. The best part is the mix of tasks. You do not just find items all the time. Sometimes you fix a machine or use a key. My favorite part as a real player is the story. It is about a family curse. You uncover secrets room by room. The Halloween theme is strong. There are pumpkins, ghosts, and dark woods. The atmosphere kept me hooked. I liked exploring every corner. The controls on Switch are simple. You use the joystick to point and press a button to interact. It works well.

I have played similar games like Hidden Folks and The Room. But this one feels more like a classic PC hidden object game. It reminds me of the Mystery Case Files series. However, those are often on PC or mobile. Halloween Chronicles: Family is special because it is on Switch. That makes it easy to play on a TV or in handheld mode. If you like spooky stories and puzzles, I recommend it. It is not too hard. It is great for a cozy evening. I think it is a good pick for Switch owners who miss this game type.
